Hi all,
  well it's been a while since I've posted anything on this forum.
I built a turbine maybe 15 years ago with much help from the guys on the back shed. Mounted it on a 6.5 Meter tower and watched in amazement as it turned and created power to feed my batteries. It's been going great for all those years, weathering many storms that came thru our area of northern N.S.W,. And we've had some beauties. At time I thought it was going to self destruct, but always survived!

It's configured for 24v and output is 500w in a good breeze.


But time marches on,  and so we have decided to sell our home after being here for just on 30 years.



  So,  We're clearing everything out, including the mill.
Is not for sale, rather I'm giving it away to anyone who would like to keep it going in  another part of the country.  Everything included. Mounting plate, mast x 2, Jin pole, S.S guy wires and h. duty brackets to suit.  wiring, Dual fnp stators and rotors. SS cowling to keep it dry. Here's some pics


Main mount and electrical box






Mast pivot bracket






Jin pole mount. Jin pole is 3 metres in length






Gen section with cowling and nose cone








masts with  mounting shaft and slip rings




if it aint broke dont fix it!!
